1st To make §ilver Plalingf Powder, 

for silvering brass, copper, &c., and for repair- 
ing worn out parts of plated goods. — Nitrate 
of silver, 30 grains ; common table salt, 30 grains ; 
cream tartar 3£ drachms. Mix all thoroughly, 
and make into a line powder in a mortar. 
Moisten a soft cloth, dip into the powder, and rub 
over the surface to be plated for a few moments ; 
then wash off with a solution of common salt in 
water, and rub dry with a cloth, and chalk or 
whiting. 

2d. To increase tfee laying of Eggs in 
H en§. — Pulverized Cayenne Pepper, half ounce 
is to be given to one dozen hens, mixed with 
food every second day. 

3d. To make Violet or Purple Ink.— 

Boil 16 ounces of Logwood in three quarts of 
of rain water, to 3 pints ; then add 3 ounces of 
clean gum arabic and 5 ounces of alum (powder- 
ed). {Shake till well dissolved. It would be well 
to strain through a wire sieve. 

4th. To clean Kid Gloves.— Add 15 drops 
of strongest solution of ammonia to spirits of tur- 
pentine £ pint. Having fitted the gloves on 
wooden hands or pegs, apply this mixture with a 
brush. Follow up this application with some 
line pumice powder. Eub with some flannel or 



sponge dipped in the mixture. Rub oft the sand, 
and repeat the same process twice or thrice, 
Hang in the air to dry, and, when dry, place in 
a drawer with some scent. 

5th. To make "latches witEiout Snf- 

plaiir or rlsnspEiorus.— Chlorate of potash, 
separately powdered, 6 drachms, vermilion one 
drachm, lycopodium one drachm, fine Hour two 
drachms. Mix carefully the chlorate with the 
flour and lycopodium, avoiding much friction, 
then add the vermilion, and mix the whole wLth 
a mucilage made with— 1 drachm of powdered 
gumarabic, JO grains of tragaanth, 2 drachn 
flour, and 4 ounces of hot water ; mix, add suffici- 
ent water to bring it into a proper consistence, 
and dip in the wood previously dipped in a solu- 
tion of 1 ounce of gum camphor, in G ounces cf 
oil of turpentine. 

6th. To make ESIaek Ink Powder.— 

Sulphate of copper [blue stone] one ounce, gum 
arabic 2 ounces, green vitriol [copperas] 8 oun- 
ces, nutgalls. powdered, 1 pound, extract of log- 
wood 1 pound. £ 11 are to be finely pulverized. 
About 1 ounce of this mixture will be required 
to make one pint of ink, to be put into boiling 
water. It should stand about two weeks befoie 



7th. Halting Powder.— Baking soda six 
ounces, cream tartar 8 ounces. Each should be 
thoroughly dry before mixing. About a tea- 
spoonfull, dissolved in warm milk or water, is 
sufficient for a quart of flour. 

Sth. To make Syrup of §arsapnrilla.— 

Take of Sarsaparilla root 1 pound, boiling wa- 
ter 5 quarts, sugar 1 pound. Cut or chop up tho 
sarsaparilla root into short pieces, the shorter 
the better, put it into the water, let stand for 24 



hours, then boil down to $§ quarts, and strain 
the liquid while hot. Then add the sugar and 
boil gradually for about an hour. When cool 
put up into bottles or a jug, and keep corked. 
Dose, from one to two table spoonfulls before 
each meal. This is a valuable medicine to 'puri- 
fy the Mood, and is used with great advantage in 
all cases of general debility or weakness from 
any cause whatever : also, for disease of the liver, 
dispepsia, or indigestion, scrofula, female weak- 
ness, loss of appetite, effects of syphilis or vene- 
real disease, and in every case where the wish is 
to build up and strengthen the system. It should 
be used about two months or more at a time. 

9th. To make medicated Hoot Seer. 

-^For each gallon of water to be used, take hops, 
burdock, yellow dock, sarsaparilla, dandelion and 
spikenard roots, bruised, of each |- ounce, ; boil 
about 20 minutes, and strain while hot ; add 8 
or 10 drops of oils of spruce and sassafras, mixed 
in equal proportion. When cool enough not to 
scald your hand, put in 2 or 3 tabic spoonfuls of 
yeast, molasses two-thirds of a pint, or white su- 
gar ■£ pound, gives it about the right sweetness. 
Keep these proportions for ai many gallons as 
you wish to make. You can use more or less of 
the roots to suit your taste, after trying it. It is 
best to get the dry roots, or dig them and let 
them dry, and of course you can add any other 
root known to possess medicinal properties desir- 
ed in the beer. After all is mixed let it stand in 
a jar with a cloth thrown over it, to work about 
two hours, then bottle and set in a cool place. 
This a nice way to take alternatives, without ta- 
king medicines to operate on the bowels. 

10th. To make lee Cream.— Fresh cream 
-| gallon , rich milk ^ gallon ; white sugar 1 
pound. Dissolve the sugar in the mixture and 
tiavor with extract to suit your taste, or take the 



peel from a fresh, lemon and steep one half of it in 
as little water as you can, and add this. It 
makes the lemon flavor better than the extract, 
and no flavor will so universally please as the le- 
mon. Keep the same proportion for any amount 
desired. The juice of strawberries or raspberries 
gives a beautiful c-^or and flavor to ice creams • 
or about £ ounce cf essence or extracts to a gal- 
lon, or to suit the taste. Have your ice well 
broke ; 1 quart salt to a bucket of ice. About 
half an hour's constant stirring, and an occasion- 
al scraping down and beating together, will 
freeze it. 
Ice Cream, a Cheaper kind. 

Milk 6 quarts, Oswego corn-starch ^ pound. 
First dissolve the starch in one quart of the 
milk, and then mix all together and just simmer 
a little ; (not to boil). Sweeten and flavor to 
suit your taste as above. 
Chicago plan of making Ice Cream. 

Irish moss 1-^ ounce, milk 1 gallon. First soak 
the moss in a little cold water for an hour, and 
rinse it well to clear it of sand and a certain pe- 
culiar taste ; then steep it for an hour in the 
mill* just at the boiling point, but not to boil. 
It imparts a rich color and flavor without eggs 
or cream. The moss may be steeped twice. A 
few minutes rubbing, at the end of freezing, 
with the spatula against the side of the freezer, 
gives ice cream a smoothness not otherwise ob r 
tained, and makes it look nice. 

11th. To make Fever and Ague Pills. 

— Quinine 20 grains, Dovers powders 10 grains, 
sub-carbonate of iron 10 grains. Mix with mu- 
cilage of gum arabic, and make into 20 pills. 
Dose : two every hour, beginning four or five 
hours before the chill is expected When tho 
chills have been broken, take one pill night and 
morning for a month to prevent a return. 



12th. To make Axle Cirease.— One pound 
of black lead, ground fine and smooth with four 
pounds of lard. A little powdered gum cam- 
phor is sometimes added. 

13th. To Tan Raw Hyde.— When taken 
from the animal spread it flesh side up ; then put 
2 parts of salt, 2 parts of salt petre and alum com- 
bined, make it tine, sprinkle it evenly over the 
surface, roll it up, let it alone a few days until 
dissolved ; then take off what flesh remains, and 
nail the skin to the side of a house in the sun ; 
stretch it tight. To make it soft like harness 
leather, put neatsfoot oil on it. Fasten it up in 
sun again ; then rub out all the oil you can with 
a wedge shaped stick, and it is tanned with the 
hair on. 

14th. To make Refined Oil for Wat-elv- 
es, Sewing Machines* &c.— -Take sweet oil 
1 pint, put into a bottle and then put into the 
oil 2 ounces of tLin sheet lead, in coils. Set the 
bottle where it will be exposed to the sun for a 
month, (shaking it up once a week) then strain 
through a fine wire or cloth sieyj, and keep tight- 
ly corked. . 

15th. How to make Transparent Soap* 

— Slice 6 pounds of nice bar soap into thin shav- 
ings; put into a brass, tin or copper kettle, with 2 
quarts of alcohol, and heat it gradually over a 
slow fire, stirring till all the soap is dissolved ; 
then add one ounce of sassafras, and stir till all 
is mixed. You will then pour into pans 1^- inches 
deep, and, when cold, cut into bars or cakes as 
many be desired. 

16th. To make §e1f-rai§ing Flour.— 

This is made by adding 4 pounds of the follow- 
ing mixture to every 100 pounds of flour, and 
then mixing all completely. It must be kept per- 



fectly dry, and, in using, mix quickly and put 
into the oven at once. Here is the mixture refer- 
red to above : carbonate of soda 56 pounds, tar- 
taric acid 28 pounds, potato Hour 112 pounds. 
Having used bread made from self-raising Hour, 
we can testify that it is good. 

17th. To make Solid Candles from 
common Lard >— Dissolve £ pound of alum 
and *- pound saltpetre in -J pint of water on a 
slow tire ; then take 3 pounds of lard, cut into 
small pieces, and put into the pot with this so- 
lution, stirring it constantly over a very moder- 
ate fire until the lard is dissolved ; then let it sim- 
mer until all steam ceases to rise, and remove it 
at once from the fire. If you leave it too long it 
will get discolored. These Candles are harder 
and better than those made from tallow. 

18th. How to make Oroide Gold — 

Spanish copper, 16 parts ; silver, 4 parts ; gold, 
1 part. Melt together, 

19th. To make Renovating Mixture 

rou removing Grease Spots, &c. — Aqua ammo- 
nia 2 ounces, soft water 1 quart, salt petre one 
teaspoonfull, variegated soap one ounce. Mix 
all, shake well, and it will be a little better to 
stand a few hours or days before using, which 
gives the soap a chance to dissolve. 

Directions — Pour upon the place a sufficient 
amount to well cover any grease or oil which may 
get spilled or daubed upon coats, pants, carpets, 
&c. sponging and rubbing well, and applying 
again if necessary to saponify the grease in the 
garment ; then wash off with clear cold water. 



20th. To make Magic copying or Im- 
pre§ston mid. IHipMcaliiig Paper. — 

To make black paper, lamp black mixed with cold 
lard. Red paper, Venetian red mixed with lard. 
Blue paper, prussian blue mixed with lard. 
Green paper, chrome green mixed with lard. 
The above ingredients to be mixed to the consis- 
tency of thick paste, and to be applied to the pa- 
per with a rag or brush ; then take a flannel rag 
and rub till the color ceases coming off. Cut 
your sheets 4 inches wide and 6 inches long ; put 
8 sheets together, 2 of each color, and sell for 25 
cents per package. 

Directio?is for writing with this paper. — Lay 
down your paper upon which you wish to write, 
then lay on the copying paper, and over this lay 
any scrap of paper you choose ; then take any 
hard pointed substance, and write as you would 
with a pen. To take impressions of flow- 
ers, leaves, &c, press them between this paper 
• and a sheet of clean white paper, and then lay 
the leaf on another clean sheet of paper, and 
press the paper gently over it. 



Human Frailty. 

In all ages of the world, of which we have 
say account, there has prevailed in the youth 
of hoth sexes a most destructive habit, by rea- 
son of which many thousands of lives are lost 
every year, besides in innumerable instances the 
laying the foundation for disease and a debili- 
tated condition, which the best efforts of a 
life-time do not counteract. This habit is known 
by the name of secret habits of youth, or mas- 
turbation, and is one of the most prevalent, the 
most universal and destructive of any that 
afflicts the human race. One reason why the 
vice, or habit, is so very destructive to youth 
is, from the fact that it is continued in secret 
from day to day, and from year to year, without 
a knowledge of its real consequences. There 
are very few parents who ever think to warn 
their children of the dangers of this habit, either 
by speaking to them, or putting into their hands 
a treatise on the subject, and even do all in their 
power to keep their children from getting hold 
of any books on the subject. This kind of false 
modesty has been the cause of many a bloom- 
ing youth filling a premature grave, and w«* 
hope to see the time when parents, teachers, 
and guardians, will treat those entrusted to 
their care with more confidence and the exer- 
cise of better judgment. 

This habit, began in youth, is often continued 
many years, even to the age of thirty years, or 
more. 

However, it is not always the result of initi- 
ation, or contracted by contact with those who 
indulge 11 the habit, but this is the cause in 



ii. 

most cases, and one bad boy will ruin twenty 
good ones. There are those who think their 
children can only contract bad habits by con- 
taot, and among the rest the habit of masturba- 
tion, and think that if they can keep their fam- 
ilies from vicious company they are safe. This 
s generally true, but there are exceptions to 
the rule, for no matter how strict a parent may 
be, the very innocence of a child makes him a 
ready tool rbr the designing, when they chance 
to fall into their company. It would take too 
long to narrate the many phases and pe- 
culiarities of the thousands of cases I have 
treated in the last few years. This terrible 
habit is oftener learned at school than else- 
where ; more than half of my patients having 
told me that they were taught it while going 
to school. With these facts before us, is it to be 
wondered at that libertines and masturbators 
become effeminate, and injure their constitu- 
tions, and that girls lose their beauty, their 
charms, amiability, the delicacy of their forms, 
and sweetness of voice? The following are 
some of the consequences of this destructive 
habit ; 

That most fatal disease, consumption, is often 
induced by this habit by debilitating the sys- 
tem, and causing tubercles to be developed in 
the lungs. 

Loss of memory is among the most common 
effects produced by it. Nearly all my patients 
complain of this, who have indulged in mastur- 
bation. 

Insanity is sometimes produced by this habit ; 
the unusual and unnatural excitement produced 



111. 

by the very frequent repetition of the act sooner 
or later reaches the brain, the great nervous 
centre, unless abstained from ; and this weak- 
ness continues in a ratio with the extent to 
which the practice has been carried, until it no 
longer controls the body, and there is lowness 
of spirits, a disposition to commit suicide, as 
many patients have informed me, restlessness, 
discontented mind, and an exceedingly unhappy 
irritability of temper, causing the patient to 
make* himself and everybody around him un- 
happy. 

An uneasy aching pain, heaviness, and weak- 
ness across the back and loins, is a frequent 
symptom, especially in the morning. 

Palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath, 
and nervousness, also result from masturbation. 

A nervous aching pain in the head, bones 
and muscles, resembling rheumatism, is a fre- 
quent consequence. By weakening the general 
powers of the system, masturbators have not 
the ordinary powers of resisting diseases, and 
for this reason, as soon as they expose them- 
selves to an atmosphere tainted with ordinary 
epidemic poisons, such as fevers, &c, they are 
more liable to the disease. 

A thin, watery, or gleety discharge, frequent- 
ly occurs, in old cases, showing extreme weak- 
ness and wasting of the parts. 

A gradual wasting away of the testicles, and 
entire loss of vitility, is a common occurrence 
with persons long addicted to this secret habit. 

A very frequent desire to pass the urine, and 
an inability to hold it, are the frequent results 
of masturbation ; — sometimes, however, they 



IV. 

cannot pass the nrine without the aid qf a 
catheter to draw it off. Stricture or narrowing 
of the passage is produced by this habit, thus 
laying the foundation for an untold amount of 
nisery and suffering. 

In females, the following diseases are pro- 
duced: — Whites, loss of sensation, falling out 
of the hairs and eyebrows, bad breath, loss of 
the natural voice, — barrenness, falling of the 
womb, epileptic fits, ulceration of the neck of 
the womb, &c. The most frequent disease pro- 
duced by masturbation in males, is called 
spermatorrhoea, or involuntary emission during 
sleep. These at first are rare, happening only 
in the course of two or three weeks, aud takes 
place during a dream of a lascivious character. 
— They soon become more frequent, and if 
accompanied by a dream, they do not wake the 
person, and finally they happen almost or quite 
without any sensation. 

Having described the nature and symptoms 
of this vice and its effects on the system, we 
would now beg to offer you our advice as a 
medical man. But the delicate nature of the 
advice is such as could not with propriety be 
inserted in these columns, as it is intended for 
all classes. This advice, then, can only be 
given to each person individually, according to 
the amount of damage the system has sustained, 
the length of time it has been practised, the 
peculiarity of the constitution, the age of the 
patient, &c. The treatment which might be 
good for one individual, might be of no service 
whatever to another, and under these circum- 
etances, the only safe plan for every person 



Y. 

who has been guilty of this practice, is to con- 
sult a physician immediately. I offer you my 
services on the "live and let live" principle, 
and in the reach of all. In a private circular 
which I send to all such as apply to me for 
advice on this disease, [or vice, as you may 
choose to call it,] the most explicit directions 
are given, and along with this, medical treat- 
ment, which at once puts vitality into the 
system, and speedily restores the parts to a 
healthy state, if directions are followed. By 
consulting me immediately, you may save your- 
self from much suffering, uneasiness of mind, 
and be restored to health. — If you go on, you 
may make of a once stout and robust frame, a 
total wreck, unfitting yourself forever for the 
married state. Do not risk all this for the sake 
of a few dollars, but write to me at once and 
give a full history of your case, and rest assured 
I will endeavor to be your confidential friend 
and benefactor. 

.(gipAll letters destroyed as soon as answered. 
Persons visiting the city, who prefer to do so. 
can call at my office No. 80 Cedar Street, 

between 9 a. m. and 4 p. m., or enclose 
tne amount in a Eegistered letter, directed to

Every thing can be sent so that no one can tell 
it from an ordinary letter, and is carefully 
sealed up. Do not feel any delicacy in con- 
sulting me, but speak as to a friend — I will try 
to do you good. 

Persons wishing advice or medical treatment, 
will please answer the following questions on 
the first application. At what ago did you be- 



VI. 

rin this habit, and how often indulged in, hoTf 
long continued, and, if abandoned, how long

satisfied that they are placing themselves in the hands of 
a regularly educated physician. The following is a £6py

VARICOCELE. 

Almost the first symptom produced either by 
masturbation or excessive sexual indulgence, is a 
fiabby, relaxed condition of the parts ; the pri- 
vates hang lower than usual, the spermatic cordis 
relaxed, and there is a dull, aching, heavy, drag- 
ging feeling in the parts, with sometimes, in more 
advanced stages, pains shooting up occasionally 
into the groin and lower part of the abdomen, 
and also a heavy aching feeling in the small of 
the back. There is enlargement on one side, us- 
ually the left, and the scrotum feels like a bag of 
worms. There is pain, and at times a coldness 
and numbness in the privates. The parts should 
be immediately strengthened, and kept in their 
proper and natural position. With this view I 
have prepared a " Medicated Bandage." I would 
especially recommend those who have applied for 
medical treatment for masturbation, or effects of 
sexual excesses, to get one of these bandages. 

Also, men advanced in life, would be benefitted 
by wearing one of these bandages.

Dr. M. L. Byrn's Aromatic Vegetable 
" TEMPERANCE BITTERS/' 

This is the only thing of the kind made, genuine 
" Temperance Bitters," made without using 
Bum, Gin, Whiskey, or Wine, in intoxicating quan- 
tities, and at the same time possessing all the 
tonic or strengthening qualities of the best bit- 
ters made. For Dispepsia, Lowness of Spirits, 
Loss of Appetite, Torpidity of the Liver, Cos- 
tiveness, or General "Weakness and Debility, from 
any cause whatever, and for " Purifying the 
Blood," there is nothing that we know of equal 
to these " Temperance Bitters." They are deli- 
ciously flavored, and compounded on Scientific 
principles. 

A great many persons are decidedly opposed 
to using the ordinary Bitters found in Drug 
Stores, owing to their intoxicating qualities, but 
with the " Temperance Bitters" there cannot be 
that objection. They are sold at 50 cents a pack- 
age, (enough to make one quart.) 

I sell enough of this Medicine, in hulk, to make 
100 lifty ct. packages, with labels, show cards, di- 
rections, circulars, with Agent's name on, with 
the county right or Agency, for $10. Each 50c. 
package of the Medicine makes one quart of the 
" Temperance Bitters," which, at 50 cents a pack- 
age, gives the Agent $40 profit on his outlay of 
$10. 

Each Agent purchasing one county right, re- 
ceives, with his deed, the medicine, labels, circu- 
lars, &c. and also, as a "Premium," one u Gold 
Pen and Ebony Holder" put up in a folding pock- 
et case.

AURICLES. OR ARTIFICIAL Ml 





. Tao instrumeut as it is and. . . .as It is worn. 

For persons hard of hearing. 

They are so constructed as to catch the faintest 
noise, which is reflected and condensed through 
conical tubes. The ears then receive the sound in 
a condensed form, which enables the patient to 
hear, just the same as when a person'seye sight is 
impaired, he applies a magnifying glass to his 
eyes, which magnities the object and he sees. 

The Auricles are secured to the head by small 
steel springs and tips made of gutta percha, 
which will extend or contract so as to fit any size 
head. They can be worn with the hat or bonnet 
on or off, in the house, street, church, walking or 
riding, without inconvenience. 

They weigh only two or three ounces, and can 
be concealed from view by the hair. Being made 
for both ears, the unpleasant sensation caused by 
an undue sound entering one ear only, is avoid- 
ed. 

We send them, by mail, packed and sealed se- 
curely, postage paid, (or they can be sent by ex- 
press,) for $6 a pair. Address all orders to

MAGNETO ELECTRICITY. 

By means of the above Magneto- Electric Machine, 
many Chronic diseases can be healed that could 
not by any other system of medication. This 
machine produces Galvanic Electricity, by simply 
turning a crank. It requires no lattery, no solu- 
tions, and no frictions, but developes electricity 
by what is called the inductive influence of a per- 
manent magnet, and it gives a current of the 
same character of the Electro-magnetic machines, 
which require a battery to actuate them. The 
machine is small, convenient, being enclosed in a 
brass-cornered mahogany box, and, with good 
care, will last a life- time. There is a " Book of 
Directions** for operating the machine, and every 
thing complete for treating all the various forms 
of diseases, that goes gratis with each machine 
sold. Price of machine, all complete, §12.00.

Catarrh in the Head. 



This is characterized by a thick muo *-puia¥eat 
Blatter, collecting in the posterior nares, sometimes) 
extending to the frontal sinus (above the root of 
the nose), which is often discharged from the nose* 
or drawn down into the throat, and then spit out ol 
the mouth, or as is often the case, accidentally swal- 
lowed ; and making its way into the stomach, often 
gives rise to derangement of the digestive organs, 
owing to the nauseating and foetid odor of the mat- 
ter. The breath sometimes becomes so unpleasant 
as to render the person unfit for society ; there is a 
feeling of fullness and dryness in the roof of the 
mouth, throat, and posterior nares, and a frequent 
disposition to " clear the head and throat." Thu 
discharge, at first almost colorless, becomes after a 
time of a yellowish hue, and exceedingly offensive 
The disease, proceeding to the tube leading from 
the throat to the internal ear, makes the patient 
hard of hearing, with roaring or buzzing sound in 
the head. The general health soon becomes affect- 
ed, the countenance becomes sallow, there is loss ol 
appetite and wasting of the general strength, and 
loss of flesh. Unless cured, the disease often fol- 
lows the sufferer to the grave — but by proper treat- 
ment it can be cured. 

Persons being afflicted as above described, by 
writing to me, giving particulars of their case, and 
enclosing five dollaus, and 50 cents for postage,

CELEBRATED 

Antidote for Tobacco! 

This is not a Substitute, but A CURE, for Cheir 
Ing, Smoking, and Snutt'-taking. 

I have treated thousands of cases within the last 
twelve years, and cured them entirely, some ol 
which have been using tobacco for twenty or thirty 
years. I use only vegetable remedies and warrant 
.hemnotto impair the system; and if taken accord- 
ing to my directions, a cure is guaranteed, and that 
without inconvenience or injury to the system. 

This medicine is prepared to enable those who de- 
sire it, totally and in a few days time, to abaudou 
the use of tobacco in any and every form. It is the 
means of destroying the longing or taste which per- 
sons have for tobacco, and thereby every one may 
abandon its use. Besides this, it acts as a tonic on 
the system, and also purees the breath, leaving a 
pleasant taste in the mouth. It also regulates the 
bowels, and is an excellent correcter of the bile. It 
is sold at Fifty Cents a Package. In a great many 
cases one package is sufficient, but the best plan ia 
to send $1.00 for two packages so as to be sure. 
Five Packnges for Two Dollars, or Fourteen Pack- 
ages for Five Dollars sent free by mail— 100 pack- 
ages bv express for $20. 

Send all orders to Dr. M. U BYRN, Box 4669, P.

Few persons have any idea of the terrible effect* 
of this noxious weed on the human system. Dyspep- 
sia, Neuralgia. Headache, Disease of the Liver, Sal- 
low Complexion, Costiveness of the Bowels, Nerv- 
ousness, Loss of Memory, undue excitability of the

are the affiictions Drought on by its use.
